[Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

[maresfield seagull]

I'll wager you 45 pence the attendance doesn't get announced.

Of course not
It’s tickets sold
You seem to have forgotten this fact
So as a public service I have kindly reminded you

 

[Mr H]

I'll wager you 45 pence the attendance doesn't get announced.

Why 45p? is there a magic number here?
9 shillings - 108 pennies -18 sixpences - 36 threepenny bits?

Nah cos the actual bet should be £45, but I haven't got £45 to waste on silliness.




I'll wager a further 45p

If the Albion are losing 0-8 at halftime, but go on to win 9-8 with a last kick of the game goal by Big Jurg.

Reading NSC in 12 months time you'll be forgiven for thinking 60,000 fans were in attendance.


More commonly known as:-

The Gary Nelson Paradox.

Almost a sellout

£50 to REMF that the number of fans in attendance starts with a 1 and not a 2 or 3.

3,000 Brentford fans, max. 16,000 Albion.

On this occasion, it would make sense to open up the ticket exchange now due to the volume of STH who can't go.

I know…..you know…….but……

BBC bring back cards.

There must be a mistake with the NSC servers because its been at least 2 hours since Stat Brofher mentioned something about Albion results being important in the context of this discussion.

Please let us know you're OK Stat or I'll worry.

What? And have to give some money to fans rather than sell a ticket in the south stand and pocket the cash? I don't think the club will open the exchange.

Anyone for a bottle top?

Leave it to the experts.

This is just the latest in a number of issues that fans simply don't understand properly.

You are quite right Paul. I am able to successfully run a $400m business but I can't grasp even the basic fundamentals of a football club and how best to deliver its product

 

[goldstone]

Do they do the same with the cinema? Tell the proprietor they'll only pay if they enjoy the film.

People who expect a free ticket for a premier league football match are generally known as freeloaders!!

But it's not a FREE ticket. It's already been paid for.

 

[Bry Nylon]

But it's not a FREE ticket. It's already been paid for.

But it’s been sold to an individual at a discount on the basis that it isn’t transferable. If you have a train season ticket you can’t just lend it to a mate if you’re not taking the train that day.

Looking at the seats available in the South there will be less than 2000 Brentford and that must be a shame. On a normal match day, day trip to Brighton and 2 hours down the road, they would have sold out their end.
Another way of looking at the tickets situation is if you want to take a mate to the match. I know for sure that the guys sitting next to me are NOT going and thus there are 3 spare seats. They live in Worthing so no chance of 'nicking' their tickets. I'd take a reletive over for Christmas if I knew they were at least in the same stand as me, that way they could occupy the empty seat.

I understand that all my albion Friends And Family are already Season Ticket holders so the Season Ticket Sharing scheme is useless to me.

I'm not interested in going out of my way to push Albion+ onto anyone else unless they initiate the conversation about getting a ticket in which case I'll let them know.

So are you saying that you charge the person you give the ticket to? If not then from their perspective it's free ergo 'freeloader.'

Do you let your customers make up ad hoc terms and conditions that suit their particular circumstances once they have signed a contract?
